F19 vs Goldbug Pro on depth

How are you guys finding the depth on the F19 (the current fixed versions not early ones) compared to the Goldbug Pro ? the UK importer claims the F19 is 3.5 inches deeper than the Goldbug Pro on a UK £1 (one pound coin) which to me seems like a lot if thats an in ground test.

I have had both the F19 and the G2 which is the same as the GB Pro and in my ground they are about the same with the 11" coil. I did not try the 10" on the G2. I have some videos of air test of both detectors. In ground performance is about the same.

Over here in the US the F-19 has left a bad taste in a lot of mouths due to the publicity of it being the deepest relic machine ever, which it was far from that even with the fixes. I believe a Gold Bug Pro or G2 with the 13" Ultimate coil is a killer setup and it gets real good depth.

I wonder what a f19 would DI with a ultimate coil on it. I wonder if it wakes it up like it does to the G2?

The Gold Bug Pro comes with the 5" coil standard. I think you are referring to the Gold Bug DP that comes withe 11" coil?
